Someone got canned over this for sure. Bloomberg news sent a preliminary obituary of Steve Jobs out over their news wire yesterday. It was quickly retracted, but raised more than a few eyebrows, considering the pancreatic cancer rumors that have been swirling around the Apple icon lately. Gawker has the full obit, if you care to parse.

    There’s no real story here. There’s “HOLD FOR RELEASE - DO NOT USE” at the top of the news release even. I’d be more shocked if Bloomberg *didn’t* have an obituary for Jobs.
